dENiZEN® from the Levi's® Brand Jeans Arrive in Canada

Quality, affordable jeanswear for men, women and boys, now available exclusively at Target® Stores

TORONTO, May 29, 2013 /CNW/ - As Target® stores continue to open across Canada, Levi Strauss & Co. is pleased to introduce shoppers to dENiZEN® jeans, a line of great-fitting, high quality and affordable denim from the people who invented jeans. dENiZEN® jeans, available exclusively at Target stores, offer men, women and boys jeans in dozens of washes, fits and styles, making Target stores in Canada a new destination for denim.

"We are thrilled to celebrate the expansion of Target and introduce dENiZEN® jeans to Canadian shoppers," said Nancy Hudak, senior vice president and general manager of the dENiZEN® brand. "We all want jeans that look good and feel great. The dENiZEN® brand was immediately loved by Target guests in the U.S. and we know these jeans with exceptional fit, quality and comfort will be similarly embraced by Canadians as well."

Jeans will always remain a year-long style staple and the dENiZEN® brand gives shoppers plenty of options to choose from at prices that Target guests have come to expect. dENiZEN® jeans offer fits and finishes for every occasion – from the women's Totally Shaping Mid Rise Skinny for a night out on the town, to the fun Essential Stretch Jamie Crop for a summer BBQ, and to the men's 281™ Straight jean for a causal weekend with friends to the modern slim cut 216™ Skinny.

Many of the dENiZEN® jeans' styles for women feature Essential Stretch denim, a high stretch denim that instantly fits and flatters, keeping its shape all day long. Two women's dENiZEN® styles have even earned back-to-back People StyleWatch Magazine Denim Awards in 2011 and 2012.

The introduction of dENiZEN® jeans to the United States in 2011 marked the beginning of an exclusive partnership between Levi Strauss & Co. and Target®. Now, with the introduction of Target stores in Canada, this partnership has expanded, giving even more shoppers access to affordable denim from the company that invented jeans and has been crafting quality denim since 1873.

The dENiZEN® jeans' spring 2013 collection, available now features four styles for women, nine for men and four for boys. Shoppers can browse the entire line on www.denizen.ca and purchase jeans at any Target store in Canada. Prices range from $21.99 to $34.99.
